Hi Rene. I specifically need the scsi support (virtio-scsi). I do know about the virtio-block support, which results in /dev/vd* devices as you say. From what I read even EL6 earlier than 6.3 does not support virtio-scsi
Alternatively, does oVirt support an emulated scsi adapter of a different type that would allow me to see scsi disks?

Hello Paul, in 6.3 virtio-scsi was only a TechPreview.
From 6.4 it is fully supported. I found also support in Win guests (> WinXP) with RHEV and updated virtio-win drivers, but nothing abut rhel 5.x guests, neither 5.10...
If you have RH EL subscription you can find more details here: https://access.redhat.com/site/solutions/300563 (I took the time to put a note asking about support in RH EL 5.x) It could be a good idea to create an rfe entry in bugzilla if you have entitlements. I don't know if there is any particular limitation or special backporting effort to gain virtio-scsi support in RHEL 5.x, but through my quick search I didn't find any reference in special repos such as CentOS extra er plus or elrepo.... I think you already saw here, but just for other ones eventually: http://www.ovirt.org/Features/Virtio-SCSI
